I’m about to make this cake for the third time in as many weeks. I made it to begin with because our wonderful au pair, our fourth (and best behaved) child, our lifesaver extraordinaire, Aurora, is in the middle of a love affair with sweet potatoes.
It’s dinner party season*, the season for heavy drinking and eating, the season for trying our best to be happy indoors.
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted, it’s been a long year. A year in which time slowed down to a stand-still
We all have a favorite cake. Francesco has his Sacher Torte, my dad his Boston Cream Pie.
Me? I love carrot cake.
Here we are on the other side. I hope all you lovelies managed without me. I would’ve come back sooner but I don’t think we’ve stopped eating for long enough to sit down and write a post.
There are few things I compete with for Francesco’s attention. One of them is steak. Another is books. Another is street performers (cannot. pull. him. away.)
While we do have different standards when it comes to lots of things, Francesco and I both put this cake in our respective Top 3 Cakes of All Time lists. And you know what? Everyone who’s ever tried it probably has too.
Normally, this would be a very straightforward endeavor, with the birthday boy choosing his cake and me baking it. But my friend is no normal boy.
Some things don’t automatically go together. I, for instance, wouldn’t dip my bacon in chocolate, or eat scrambled eggs with ketchup.
As will soon become self evident, I love me some cake.
I don’t know where this love came from, but I know it’s not going away.
